I wrote the lyrics to 10 love poems for my wife: I paid a freelancer (The Welsh Wonder) to set them to music and sing them.
BEST SO FAR

Amazing Eyes
If I’ve learned nothing in two years of writing love songs, I’ve learned the best ones have the added charm of being true, and come from real life. Looking into Vicki’s eyes one morning, I realized they were another reason I love her.

In the music biz, when someone else sings one of your songs, it is called a cover. An anonymous folksinger has decided to cover You’re The Only Woman Man Enough (To Bask In My Love (Cover Version). He does a really swell job; worth a listen.
I have recorded nearly all the songs in my own voice: Paul Sings Paul. A longer origin story as well as the lyrics. Sheet Music. You can listen to my half dozen parodies as well.
I never covered the Welsh Wonder's version of two of my songs. There's Nothing I Wouldn't Do (If You Let Me Stay With You) is a love song. Bumps On The Road To Nirvana is a How Did I Get Here song suggested by Clark Smith: "All your songs are about your wonderful love. How did you get there?"

If you only listen to a few love songs, listen to the Lyrics by Paul playlist on YouTube with the four best songs, sung by The Welsh Wonder, who wrote the melodies for all my lyrics: If Offered A Choice, You're The Only Woman Man Enough (To Bask In My Love), Holding My Heart, Nothing I Wouldn't Do.
There is a 25-minute MP3 file of all the songs plus patter.
The easy way to get the songs? A YouTube playlist, Spotify (be sure to ask for Paul Sings Paul; otherwise you'll get the old versions of the songs, or possibly songs by the other Paul Schindler) and iTunes. Of course those methods cost.
